Non-notable school that does not pass WP:ORG. The article reads like an advertisement. Warrah (talk) 14:54, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. All high schools are notable. Yes, copyediting the article to make it NPOV will be necessary. The article should be moved to the correct spelling, Taipei Adventist Preparatory Academy. And this appears to confirm the school's notability: TAIPEI ADVENTIST PREPARATORY ACADEMY AWARDED 5-YEAR ACCREDITATION BY NSDCA/AAA. -- Eastmain (talk) 19:46, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - while not all secondary schools may be notable, this one is about 7 years old, has 250 students, and has been the subject the news articles - see [1]. It meets my standards for high schools. Bearian (talk) 20:57, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that all high schools are notable on Wikipedia. Can I please get a link to the policy that says that? Thanks! Warrah (talk) 22:01, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- He might mean WP:AFDP not really a policy though. Stupidstudent (talk) 06:02, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- The common outcomes for schools are that high schools are kept, while elementary schools and middle schools are merged. Also, DGG's explanation at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Požarevačka gimnazija is applicable to this AfD. Cunard (talk) 08:20, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I never asserted that "all high schools are notable on Wikipedia"; but most high school AfDs have ended as "Keep", and several admins, including myself, have set up their own standards for notability of high schools; and likewise, many editors believe that all such articles should be notable (emphasis added).

- P.S. I also think that my ideas are in line with immortal words of the benevolent dictator for life. Bearian (talk) 18:52, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
